Ok,I jumped into the trunk during a break.   I have nothing at either of these connectors.

 

No voltage at all, on any wire. Grounds are continuous though.    So that's at the fan resistor itself, and that C397 wiring block. Spartan also sent me a pin-out of that connector and the wires matched.  No voltage there.

Next thing to do is to check C206 Orange wire terminal A6.

Ok, I had to button it up for the night. I'm taking it a few thousand miles this weekend down south.  I'll check that when I get to my parent's house.  

 

What if I don't see voltage on that wire ?  I'm not sure if I'll have a chance to get online for the next step.

You don't have to take much apart to check that. It is right behind the left kick panel I believe.  Ya. 

I/P Harness to Body Harness, lower left of the I/P behind the kick panel

 

If you don't have power there the next thing to do would be to lift the fuse block and check the power coming out the rear of the fuse block on wire C1 Terminal A10

oh ok, I gotcha. I was looking for this in the rear.

 

I tested that wire a few weeks ago and  it had power. I will check again though ASAP.  Thanks !

Ok, back from the South, where heat wasn't really an issue.  Got back a few days ago, dropped it off for a transmission service and got it back today.  I'll be diving into the front kickpanel tomorrow.

 

The transmission needed a pressure valve. I guess it was low pressure.  Shifted like a limo though. The new valve has it shifting harder.

Carnau,  I don't know if your still around,  but I had a question if you are.   I have been having difficulty with my wife's 2005 sub in this same area.   I have sourced the problem to being a lack of power/voltage going to the actuators.   (a brown wire)  I have traced the brown wire to what shows to be in your diagram as Inline connector 350.   The only slight difference is my connector is located on the passenger side rear pillar (behind the wheel well),  as opposed to the passenger side pillar located in front of the wheel well.  anyways,  I have back fed voltage from the cigarette lighter and the system is working.     I swear ive checked every fuse,   I was wondering if you had any place to point me to?

    • No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.      
    • Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.
    • I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?   
    • Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
